.PAY domain
Checking availability…
An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.
Because .PAY implies a payment purpose, customers tend to assume any arthack address under it is legitimate, lowering their guard. That assumption is exactly why an unprotected arthack.pay is dangerous and why NicNames should own it. https://domain.pay/register
domain.pay lists the full trademark fast-track at $2,500 when you need end-to-end TMCH/SMD assistance, plus any premium registry retail fee. Confirm the details here: https://domain.pay/pricing. If you already have an SMD file, a lower submission-only path may apply.
Popular .com names are largely registered after decades of use, but .PAY is a newer namespace, so arthack.pay may still be open. That gives arthack a chance to own a clean, on-brand payment address. Check arthack.pay availability at /register.
ICANN currently lists .PAY Limited Registration Period 1 from July 20, 2026 to February 1, 2027. LRP1 has payment-transaction eligibility and use restrictions. Check your domain path through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
Availability is checked live and re-verified before payment. Pre-orders are first-day registration attempts — registration is not guaranteed; 100% credit toward another domain (or 80% cash refund) if unsuccessful.
